He really had a way with words.
His characters were flightless birds,
And elephants, and Whoville folks
With lots of multi-level jokes.
How do we celebrate his day?
We laugh! We shout, “Hurroo, huzzay!”
We might cook up green eggs and ham,
For our friend, Mr. Sam-I-Am.
—And my favorite quote from the good Doctor: Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

Haha…funny as I just watched Horton hears a Who last night with a little 8 yr. old friend I was watching.
“ASAP, whatever that means.”
” It must mean act swiftly awesome pachyderm.” haha
Never read any of his stuff.
We used to call my kids Thing One and Thing Two at times.
“I meant what I said and I said what I meant,
An elephant’s faithful one hundred percent.”
Say—anyone could think of that,
Jack or Fred or Joe or Nat—
Say, even Jane could think of that.
(I almost wed a woman named Jane…)
I know up on top you are seeing great sights,
But down here on the bottom,
We too should have rights.
From Yertle the Turtle I believe.
Favourite silly quote:
“Do you choose to
Chew goo, too, sir?
If, sir, you, sir,
Choose to chew, sir,
With the Goo-Goose,
Chew, sir. Do, sir.”
I also love the simple:
“Mr. Knox, now. Come now, come now. You don’t have to be so dumb, now.”
Favourite serious quote:
“Unless someone like you
Cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is gonna
Get better. It’s not.”
I used to be able to say the whole of Green Eggs and Ham with my daughter by heart. That Sam I am…
^ My sister and I did “Fox in Socks”. I think I could still remember most of it.
It would be as Seuss would say, a time for work, or a time for play.
Like play is smooth and work is rough a place for play is full of fluff.
Logic for logic you cannot get, it is about as easy as catching spit.
It sinks in a hole here as if in a pit. Enlightenment is dim and hardly lit.
But the place of fluff and play is where many come to, day by day.
A place of a place that is like no other, a place of fluff they call Fluther.
^ Ummm….I guess it is you? I may not have given you 2 GAs in two days, since there is only 100 lifetime Atta boys one can give and I use them with extreme prejudice, I do think i have given you more than you have me.
^ I know you are, but what am I??
